I'm starting to think you've got a problem with Maryland, or me.

He invoked Maryland’s schedule with an inaccurate comparison.

I actually rather enjoy the teams Maryland has had of late. I even kinda enjoyed the Stone team. Cowan has developed a good bit better than I expected. This team is pretty good.

MSU as a program simply struggles with any sort of preseason expectations

nice win vs the Hawks and Garza

nice win vs the Hawks and Garza

Tillman picking up two quickly hurt, Garza destroyed anyone else MSU out on him.  But Tillman, when he played, really shut him down.  You'll let Garza have 20 every night if it takes him 21 shots to get there.  Gabe Brown reverted back into the pumpkin he had been pre-Nebraska, but Rocket picked up the slack.

Its at the point you simply cannot play Foster Loyer.  Watts needs to get all of the backup PG minutes.

As an admitted cliffsnotes observer of college hoops, ex. I can't name 6 players even if you include Marquette and Nebraska, it seems there's an awful lot of teams in the mix for bids with already well over 10+ losses already.  Am I in confirmation/recency bias mode.  In other words, stick to volleyball analysis?

But Tillman, when he played, really shut him down.  

Say what you want about Winston but IMO, Tillman's defense on Garza was the difference maker. Granted, Garza did miss some wide open 3s that he would normally had made but I think Tillman just wore him down enough that partially caused those misses. Wieskamp's struggles may have been indirectly effected as well. Iowa needs at least one of them to control the game in the last 10 minutes to win, MSU did a great job making sure that didn't happen. 

[FearlessF]

Garza's 3's weren't as wide open as usual and he got off to a rough start, affected his confidence I suppose

the defense inside vs Tillman bothered him, sped him up

wasn't on his game

curious to me that a kid that big ends up on the floor as many times as he does

2021 5* PG Khristian Lander picks Indiana over UM, Louisville and Memphis, and is going to look to reclassify to 2020.

If Trayce Jackson-Davis returns, Archie may save his job next year.  Devonte Green is their only meaningful senior.  They already have three 4* recruits coming in, so that's an easy top 10 class, probably #5 right now, right behind UM

Former Badger Kobe King commits to Nebraska. There will be jokes from UW fans.

[847badgerfan]

I guess we'll see if he doesn't feel like a servant, playing for Freddy.

[ELA]

FWIW, he seems to have a way to make this a win-win.  No MSU fan was sad to see Lucious or Allen get booted, and actually got better without them, as Wisconsin seemingly did without King.  But both players seemed to work out fine for Iowa State

[847badgerfan]

I don't care much that he left - looks like a good thing right now.

What I don't like is that he started the house on fire on his way out.

here comes the Mayor!
